Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of 'software quality assurance/integration engineer' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found that the evidence, including the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook and an expert opinion letter, did not prove that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for entry into the position, particularly given the entry-level nature of the duties described.
